Broken Rules not working on any 3DS games, but has new title in Chasing Aurora world planned
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
What’s Broken Rules up to these days? The developer released Chasing Aurora for the Wii U eShop back in November but has been quiet since.
In a new interview, Broken Rules confirmed that it is making a new title “set in the same world as Chasing Aurora”. It’ll be a single-player experience, according to the studio. And for those hoping it’d support Nintendo’s portable, we’re sorry to say that Broken Rules doesn’t have any 3DS plans at the moment.
“We have nothing in the works for the 3DS. Yet we’re certainly working on a new game set in the same world as Chasing Aurora. All I can tell you so far is that it will be a single player game.”

Fire Emblem: Awakening has been a smashing success thus far. In February, the game’s first month at retail in the US, Awakening moved over 180,000 units. 117,000 copies were sold at retail with another 63,000 coming from the eShop.
Awakening has seen the best first month for a Fire Emblem game by far. Life-to-date sales of Shadow Dragon, the last Fire Emblem title to be released in North America, stand at just over 250,000 units. According to Nintendo, Fire Emblem’s 3DS outing “sold 70 percent of that figure in just 28 days.”
“Building off its 92 Metacritic score, Fire Emblem Awakening for Nintendo 3DS had the best first month sales in franchise history, selling more than 180,000 units (more than 117,000 at retail + more than 63,000 digital units). By comparison, the previous hand-held entrant in the franchise – Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon – has sold a little more than 250,000 units life to date in the U.S. Fire Emblem Awakening sold 70 percent of that figure in just 28 days.”
